From: "zhangyi (F)" <yi.zhang@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit bc71726c725767205757821df364acff87f92ac5 ] There is a risk of filesystem inconsistency if we failed to async write back metadata buffer in the background. Because of current buffer's end io procedure is handled by end_buffer_async_write() in the block layer, and it only clear the buffer's uptodate flag and mark the write_io_error flag, so ext4 cannot detect such failure immediately. In most cases of getting metadata buffer (e.g. ext4_read_inode_bitmap()), although the buffer's data is actually uptodate, it may still read data from disk because the buffer's uptodate flag has been cleared. Finally, it may lead to on-disk filesystem inconsistency if reading old data from the disk successfully and write them out again. This patch detect bdev mapping->wb_err when getting journal's write access and mark the filesystem error if bdev's mapping->wb_err was increased, this could prevent further writing and potential inconsistency.
